00:00:00,650 --> 00:00:05,360
In this video we're going to start to set up our Express API as a reminder you do not have to build

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,900
this API with me if you want to skip all the setup.

3
00:00:07,910 --> 00:00:12,860
You can go ahead to the next section download all the source code for the express API and then just

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:14,990
learn how to run the server.

5
00:00:15,110 --> 00:00:18,350
So if you're still here it's because you want to set up the Express API with me.

6
00:00:18,350 --> 00:00:19,040
Sounds good.

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:20,170
Let's get started right away.

8
00:00:21,020 --> 00:00:25,070
So it just in general I want you know that I'm going to kind of assume that you understand how express

9
00:00:25,070 --> 00:00:28,360
works and kind of how to work with Mongo DB as well.

10
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:33,080
I'm going to definitely tell you a lot of stuff around both these topics but in general like I said

11
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:35,930
this is of course around React Native and not express.

12
00:00:35,930 --> 00:00:40,010
So we're going to focus on really just kind of implementing our functionality and not necessarily doing

13
00:00:40,070 --> 00:00:42,050
a super deep dive.

14
00:00:42,050 --> 00:00:42,310
All right.

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,020
So back inside my terminal I'm back at a workspace directory of sorts.

16
00:00:46,070 --> 00:00:52,310
So inside of here I'm going to make a new project directory that I'll call track dash server the overall

17
00:00:52,310 --> 00:00:56,160
name of our application is going to be track or tracker or something like that.

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:01:02,240
So I'm saying hey this is where I have the API or the code for my API or then change into that directory

19
00:01:02,930 --> 00:01:07,400
and then inside of here we're going to first begin by generating a package dot Jace on file so we can

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,780
install a couple of different dependencies.

21
00:01:09,890 --> 00:01:18,170
So I will run NPM minute dash y like so and that's going to generate my package dot JS on file.

22
00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:21,610
We're then going to install a couple of different dependencies right away.

23
00:01:21,740 --> 00:01:25,430
Some of these dependencies aren't gonna make sense right away but we're just going to install all of

24
00:01:25,430 --> 00:01:29,390
our dependencies upfront so we don't have to change back to our terminal several times throughout these

25
00:01:29,390 --> 00:01:31,760
videos and install them one by one.

26
00:01:31,790 --> 00:01:34,160
So we're going to do it in npm install.

27
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:46,890
We're going to get beat crypt express Jason web token all one word then Mongoose and Node Martin like

28
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:48,210
so now.

29
00:01:48,330 --> 00:01:53,150
As usual I got to beg you please double check your spelling on all these different dependencies and

30
00:01:53,410 --> 00:01:56,220
once you're sure that you typed them all out correctly.

31
00:01:56,220 --> 00:02:00,570
Well let's go ahead and start the install and this installations can take just a little bit.

32
00:02:00,580 --> 00:02:02,290
So let's take on the pause right here.

33
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,270
Come back the next video.

34
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,200
Once the installation is all complete.
